| Description |
English: This antique Philippine sword is from Panay-Negros area in the Visayas in central Philippines. The sword is called "tenegre" (roughly, in the likeness of a tiger, that is its tooth versus the blade shape).
The blade is made of laminated steel and is chisel-ground (flat on one side and beveled on the other), as is typical of Visayan swords. Carved carabao horn handle has the traditional grinning figural monster for pommel. The circular hand guard is also made of horn, and the ferrule ("collar") is made of iron. A close-up shot of the figural monster pommel is here. Overall length: 567 mm (23.3 inches); Blade length: 435 mm (17.1 inches); Maximum blade thickness: 7.5 mm (1/4 inch) Other uploaded materials by the same author are here: (a) Luzon weapons; (b) Visayan weapons; (c) Moro weapons; and (d) Lumad (non-Moro Mindanao) weapons |
